Thanks for your post.
I have not completley disregarded the USA, however I am now studying NZ & OZ.
From what I can fathom, the NZ licence is highly regarded in the industry, its just that I am in that age old place, with ancient questions such as which is the best route toward that first job, seek CFI first or operational expereience then CFI.
It's a tough place, and tough decision's to be made.
Dont want to end up on the rubbish heap, with 150hrs.
When I jump in I need it to be right.
Thanks for your offer of assistence, I have been looking at HAI in florida, and may indeed need to come back and pick your brains...
